Everything ran smoothly! Ferry ride wasn’t too bad either we got there quite quickly. Our driver picked us up and dropped us off and helped us to find where to go to check in. Would recommend!

Wanting extra charge for both car rides. Second ferry was not comfortable. Other than that the drivers were nice and everything worked out - fast responses from WhatsApp.

The van was perfect, arrived on time, very clean, nice driver, everything good. But, the organisation at the pier, was horrible. We should normally be arriving at our destination at 2pm. We arrived at 3:30pm. Everything was a mess, I think you should tell this in advance. That everything and everyone is late! Very late. So I'll rate good for the van, but really bad for the boat.

Driver communication was super, very kind. Check-in process easy. Only downside is the walking distance from check-in to the boat, the sun was meltong us at 32º, and I don't wanna think if it was raining

Everything went very well! The driver arrived on time at the Coco supermarket (10:00 am). The driving and service were excellent. Upon arriving at Sanur port, the driver got out to collect our credentials and ferry tickets and gave them to each passenger. He then dropped us off at the boarding area, where the ferry staff collected our luggage. We had to wait there for over an hour until the ferry departed (12:00 pm). The boarding process was smooth, and the crossing to Nusa Penida was very pleasant, as the sea was calm. We arrived at Banjar Nyuh port exactly 45 minutes later. Disembarkation was quick, with immediate delivery of our luggage. The only thing I didn't like was that the boat was very old, worn, and dirty.

The transfer was 30/40min late, we was supposed to arrive at 10am to Nusa Penida island and we arrived at 11am. Apart from this everything was ok, the ferry is small and very hot inside but i think all boats are the same. Better travel as early as possible because of the sea movement and the wind/waves.

The good part is that we were in a private car for us
